Front takes a moment from tinkering with his upcoming album to remember those less fortunate albums that came before. Thusly: the title track from our current offering, Final Boss, is suddenly free to download. And since we here at frontalot.com don't give one solitary damn about the normal order of things, here's a new single from the previous album, Secrets From The Future, a song called I Hate Your Blog, which you may now enjoy in MP3 format. Should you have any desire to own these fine albums, we facilitate their physical or digital acquisition on this very website.

Yes, News From The Front readers, we are aware that today is Tuesday. Maybe we are busy over here at Nerdcore HQ. Or maybe we just like to keep you on your toes by lying about things (like what day new singles are going to come out).

In tangential national news: Kimmy Gatewood (who sings on that single) runs wild with her Apple Sisters in Vegas and LA over the next couple weeks; the 941 Theater in Philly seeks rescue from the ravages of this economic climate; Matt Steckler's at The Stone in NYC on the 29th; you're supposed to eat a turkey on thursday but it is okay if you don't. On that evening, Front will probably have Popeye's with Jick and then do KoL Radio from 11-1A (Eastern). Mmmmmm, popcorn shrimp. Mmmmmm, gin.

Front tends to his electrons in Brooklyn, NY, hoping soon to craft crackling new album action from them. In the meantime enjoy this comic strip about the shabby naked man who cannot trust physicians.

Here is a spare time activity: imagine to yourself how wonderful it will be on Monday! That is when two singles are posted on this very website.

Do you like that Nerdcore Rising movie that Negin Farsad made about nerdcore and Frontalot and back spasms and PAX? So do we! And the recently released DVD is rife with short-format extras, features a printed paper insert, and maintains a general air of reassuringly non-biodegradable semi-permanence. But physical media is so -- how you say? -- passé. Finito. Kaputt. Thus it is with great satisfaction that we announce the availability of NR:TM on iTunes, for downloading and keeping. Grab that here if you want. It costs about ten bucks.

Or if ephemerality is so dear to you that stored data offends, stream it on Netflix instead.

Front's headed to Williamsburg to do one secret song at the new Knitting Factory after Lev Grossman's reading from his new novel. Running a little late, so find your own damn hyperlinks! Doors at five. Seeya there.

Coulton and Frontalot sat down (Skyped down?) with the FourCast the other day. Here is what it sounded like.

Front's back in New York, making the new album happen as best he knows how. Doggy Fresh is with him. Life is pretty good.

Front did a little bit of rapping for Fast Company recently. It is here. It is like an MBA program that you don't have to pay for, where various luminaries teach you stuff in 30-second increments. Front's seminar answers the question, "What meetings need to be face-to-face." How businessy!

You seriously have like 48 hours left to get your All Nerdcore Song Fight song turned in. The song has to have the title "Feature Creep." Beyond that, it's up to you. Hurry the hell up.
